To explain a little but of the science behind it. The reason the flowers in soda survived was because they had nutrients. Plain water is not enough for a rose to survive as it has no nutrients. Just like us, flowers need nutrients to survive. Sugar is a great source of nutrients, however sugar attracts bacteria which will also kill your flowers, fortunately, most sodas contain a chemical called sodium benzoate which is a preservative that kills bacteria while leaving the flowers unharmed. So, if you want your flowers to live longer just add sugar and some sort of non-toxic antibacterial chemical (like vinegar)
@@claudiahayes9689 yes. They would work as well since they’re both very good at killing bacteria and both are known to actually help plants grow and stay healthy, so yes. Along with the sugar, they will do a great job
Sprite is the clear winner. In the end the flower is standing straight up, and I didn't see the sprite flower wilt even once during the whole thing, but all the other ones did
A little late, but for the future, if you want your plant to live longer add sugar and something like vinegar (it kills the bacteria that the sugar will attract) in with the water. If that doesn’t seem to work, most likely the issue is that part of the stem is dead so you simply need to cut about an inch off and put it back in.

Ok 👌
Wouldn't baking soda or Epson salt work along with the sugar?

how much of each do i put?
@@costacorous8106 one or two tablespoons of sugar and a quarter cup of vinegar at least per quart of water
Sugar is the answer.

Sprite did the best. Coke one was crying for help
Yeah my Gma used to use 7up she taught us home remedies. Like cactus has aloe Vera
😍Wow!.. Thank You👍🏼👋🏼❤️
Wow 😮 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Was this a paid commercial because the sprite did the best, then the fanta, cola was not the best and the fuji water was crap!😫😩👎👎👎👎👎
megan smallwood if you watch the end of the video Coca Cola is 1st Place

My Gma used to do this in 7up and 7up is also good for you when you are I’ll like vomiting etc soup and salty foods crackers etc
On my way to buy sprite
😂🤣😂
Sprite is good
What’s happening
Nice video
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Lots of wasted soda, I just use sugar ... lol
Just sugar? Plain sugar water attracts bacteria which will also kill the plant. You have to have an antibacterial liquid in there as well
Sprite
Probably the caffeine
How much did Sprite pay you to make this video ? Lol
I wish they pay me
Doesn’t it create ants tho ?
So, soda would, yes. However you can mix something less appealing like vinegar in to prevent ants from wanting it
Create? what's it gonna do just give birth to ants outta nowhere
The voice is obnoxious
Your arm got hairy too.
